    Lol, only eleven?? Most guys have require at least 15 recordings!

  • @billyguns2 thank you for this precisions j will get one j think the Decca one

    If you like Debussy, maybe you know Paul Dukas ? J' m reading his biography ; he was a close and a very good friend of Debussy as a famous and very well known composer and musical critic

  • @vanpo06Thanks for asking: I love all eleven recordings I own of PELLEAS ET MELISANDE; to call one the "best" is an exercise in futility. The ones tow which I keep returning are the 1964 Decca/London stereo Ansermet with Spoorenberg/Maurane/London; the DGG Abbado with Ewing and the best Pelleas of them all; the 1953 Fournet; and the 1962 Disques Montaigne (hard to find) conducted by Inghelbrecht. There are other cherishable individual performances on the other sets as well.

  • @billyguns2

    so which one is the best ?

  • Great.

    Costume designer: Moidele Bickel

  • You are absolutely correct; the sonority is exactly the same as Maestro Fournet's approach, cold, formidable. I have always felt this to be the right approach; these are not warm people or climates.

  • Let that be his loss!! [This plus Shostakóvich's "Lady Macbeth of Mcjénsk District" and Wagner's "Parsifal" are my three operatic favourites.]

    Excellent singing and decent staging & set. The orchestral sound is too dry - apparently Boulez is still out to "burn the mist off" from Debussy?

    4 out of 5 stars

  • La dirección de Boulez sigue la sonoridad de la de Jean Fournet de 1954.

    Maravillosa ópera.

  • gracias por los subtítulos es español!!
